Eric Clapton I Still Do on 180g 45RPM 2LP

Eric Clapton Reunites With Slowhand Producer Glyn Johns on I Still Do: Audiophile 45RPM 2LP Pressing Captured on Two-Inch Analog Tape, Mastered by Bob Ludwig, and Cut by Bernie Grundman

Forty years after they collaborated on Slowhand, Eric Clapton and producer Glyn Johns (who has also produced albums for the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and the Who) reunite on the guitarist’s 23rd studio album. Graced with a smart mixture of originals and covers—including Dylan’s “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine"—I Still Do resonates with signature tones, heartfelt vocals, and deep-seated details on this 45RPM analog pressing. Recorded on a 16-track machine on two-inch analog tape, then mixed down to 1/4-inch tape, I Still Do is an instant audiophile favorite. Everything is captured in stellar analog while the two of the industry’s leading engineers—Bob Ludwig and Bernie Grundman—handled the mastering and cutting, respectively. That Warner Bros.' 45RPM 2LP set is priced affordably puts this astonishing release over the top, and then some.

"This was a long and overdue opportunity to work with Glyn Johns again, and also, incidentally, the fortieth anniversary ofSlowhand," says Eric Clapton. The album's artwork – a carefully crafted illustration of Clapton – is the work of esteemed artist Sir Peter Blake, whose previous art includes the co-design of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bandalbum sleeve as well as the Band Aid single "Do They Know It's Christmas?," Paul Weller's Stanley Road, and The Who'sFace Dances. I Still Do features Blake's signature at the bottom right corner of the cover.
